BBQ, Bourbon and Tower Cranes - Howdy Y'all from Austin

5/10/2022

I was in Austin the week before last for a few days of rest and relaxation. I was in Austin in 2015 and was impressed by the number of tower cranes back then. The current skyline is even more impressive. By my count, I could see 24 tower cranes one the following types of projects:
  • Student housing: 9 (all of it looking privately-funded)
  • Residential: 6 (with one on the way)
  • Hotel: 4
  • Commercial/office: 5
I typically use my morning run as a means to see city landscapes and construction projects. Given the amount of tower cranes, I put in more miles than expected. As such, I needed to replenish and "rehydrate" and Austin did not disappoint on that front. The evidence of Austin's awesomeness are below.

I wasn't able to get back to Franklin BBQ, but Terry Black's was pretty damn good (and 20 minute wait vs. 2.5 hours). But hands down, I highly recommend a visit to Still Austin for some bourbon. Bonus points if it's Drag Queen Bingo Day.
